The Christmas Rose, Helleborus niger, is rarely in flower at Christmas when planted in open ground but does tend to flower earlier if planted in containers. The stunningly white flowers contrast well against their deeply cut dark green foliage. They do make great container plants when planted as young flowering plants which you can pick up from good garden centres for about £3.99. Underplant them with dwarf spring flowering bulbs such as the blue Grape Hyacinth, Muscari armeniacum or the deep blue Iris reticulata. These are now also available in pots ready to flower.
